The incident also had a lasting impact on Sam, who is now six years old. He aspires to become a police officer, who puts “the bad guy in the jail,” he told News4Jax in a previous interview. A spokesperson for the family said the boy is preparing to start first grade in the fall.

“He wants to be officer,” Al Gburi told News4Jax in March. “He always telling me, ‘Mom, I want to be officer!’ and I say, ‘OK, you will.’”

Al Gburi said she lost everything when Mohammed was arrested and was evicted from his apartment because her name was still on Mohammed's lease, damaging her credit history. Ten months later, Al Gburi has received money from the state's victim compensation and has enough to furnish a new apartment, get a new wheelchair and a customized car that she'll be able to drive with hand controls.
